Description

The lekythos is the most common of all the shapes decorated in black figure found in the Agora,particularly from ca. 510-480 B.C., the period when many artists specialized in the shape.1 In general,the lekythos is characterized by a narrow neck with a flaring mouth, a short vertical handleattached at the shoulder and the neck, and a sturdy foot. The shape of the mouth, body, and footvaries a good deal from period to period and from potter to potter.
